Għajn Tuffieħa, Sandy beach in Mġarr, Malta.
The 345-meter stretch of red sand beach extends along clear Mediterranean waters, bordered by steep clay cliffs and natural rock formations.
A defensive tower constructed in 1637 under Grand Master Giovanni Paolo Lascaris of the Knights Hospitaller stands guard over the bay.
The name Għajn Tuffieħa derives from Maltese language elements, representing the connection between local heritage and natural landscape features.
Access to the beach requires descending 200 steps, and visitors should arrive early to secure parking spaces during peak seasons.
The beach maintains a designated naturist section on its left side while holding Blue Flag status for environmental quality standards.
